Palmer Itinerary Banning, Calif cont'd. Jan.15 cont'd. 5 mi. ENE Lakeview, 1500 ft., Riverside Co., Calif. This place was at the edge of the valley on the lower slopes of the foothills on the Moreno-San Jacinto highway (Foothill Road at Bridge St. of the So. Cal. Auto Club Map for Riverside C.). There I found numerous gopher workings in the fine soil. Soil was fine, brown, slightly sandy loam (1/2"- 1") overlaid with a thin layer of decomposed granite. Made 13 sets of Macabee traps in burrows with fresh mounds. Also set 40 gpr.-size mouse traps around the base of the hills. Traps set at 10-20 steps apart on decomposed granite or bare earth in brush 2-4 ft. high. Plants mainly Artemisia californica, Salvia apiana, Salvia mellifica, Eriogonum fasciculatum, and a low growing whitish leaved plant which I think is a composite. In large openings were some Brassica nigra (?) and much Erodium sp. forming a mat on the ground. After setting traps drove as via Jackrabbit Rd & Beaumont to the home of my aunt Aunt Edw and Mrs. G. L. Bramkamp in Banning.
